How do I set the default block layout for new courses?
The default block layout can be set as "sticky" blocks via Administration > Appearance > Sticky blocks (in 1.6 to 1.8) or Administration > Modules > Blocks > Sticky blocks (in 1.9 onwards).
An alternative method is to edit config.php. See Block layout for more details.
How do I hide front page blocks from non-logged-in users?

- Select the guest role.
- Set the capability moodle/block:view to prevent.
- Click the "Save changes" button.
